Selective forces and mutational biases drive stop codon usage in the human genome: a comparison with sense codon usage

BACKGROUND: The three stop codons UAA, UAG, and UGA signal the termination of mRNA translation. As a result of a mechanism that is not adequately understood, they are normally used with unequal frequencies. RESULTS: In this work, we showed that selective forces and mutational biases drive stop codon...
